First, flatten the ball of dough into a patty.

For those working in Kuala Lumpur, you really know the kind of traffic jams I have in mind. The jams in the city center can be horrendous especially during the fasting month. Goodness, might as well break fast in KL.


During this holy Ramadhan month, discover the traditional kampung-styled dishes and a world of of culinary flavors when you break fast with family and friends at Flavors Restaurant at Swiss-Garden Hotel & Residences Kuala Lumpur.

Buah Kurma (Dates), assorted dates ideal as appetizers when breaking fast because of its nutritional values. The sugar contained in the dates helps the body to replenish itself after a long day fasting.
